I think Latvia should just go internal nest year or do away with the semifinals and concentrate on getting 6-8 really good songs for a one night NF, they could have made the final and boosted their ratings with some of the songs they had in the NF.
Wow, the fall of Latvia over the past few years is immense. I guess they got a boost when they won, and it's died down over time? They can't use not qualifying as an excuse either, as they haven't qualified since 2009.

I agree. I think they should internally select one of their really famous acts and have a national final with 6-8 songs. I think this will be an easy way to bring back the prestige that Eurovision used to have in Latvia.
